As far as I know, invading the air space of a sovereign nation without permission is a crime, blowing up a building in an other country is an act of war and is a crime.....where is the out cry of a nation proud of it's 'rule of law'
These guys would not be convinced if they were personally taken to Syria and shown everything and provided with blueprints of the proposed bombs. They would think it to be a CIA operation with actors.
